CPAN hanging on ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if installed

The perl itself even from ports is OK, the BSDPAN part is the problem.

If you only want a (temporary) solution for the subject problem, you may
( possibly s/5.8.8/5.8.9/ for your case ):

mv /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN.bad

so perl falls with its @INC to the original ExtUtils::, because:

$ perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC'
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8

and

$ find /usr/local/lib/perl5 | grep ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm

But then you loose what /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN/BSDPAN.pm says:

DESCRIPTION
        BSDPAN is the collection of modules that provides tighter than ever
        integration of Perl into BSD Unix.

        Currently, BSDPAN does the following:

        o makes p5− FreeBSD ports PREFIX‐clean;
        o registers Perl modules with FreeBSD package database.

        BSDPAN achieves this by overriding certain functionality of the core
        Perl modules, ExtUtils::MM_Unix, and ExtUtils::Packlist.

        BSDPAN module itself just provides useful helper functions for the rest
        of the modules in BSDPAN collection.

You soon should be upgrading to 5.14.x (mee to :-), so do you care?
